A few days ago an earthquake occurred off Catania, Sicily and I felt it slightly at about 3.20am (I live in Malta , 60 miles away ). Today, an earthquake occurred about 2 and a half hours ago in Southern Greece. I felt the ground and furniture shake slightly in my living room. What I noticed throughout these days was that the weather was overcast and dull and yesterday was very windy. Somehow, I always associate this type of weather with earthquakes. Sure enough, two earthquakes took place in the space of a few days and in Italy, Malta and Greece.
